I think unfortunately you have to remove them one by one, unless you simply filter out signs and make them invisible. This would hide all signs, but not technically remove them from the game.

Thank you for your answer.
Yes, I tried that, but unfortunately it also hides the station names :(
Deleting one by one is not possible. AI has placed thousands of them.
Or maybe someone has an idea how to forbid AI from writing notes?
I looked for it in various options, but I didn't find it.

If you are using an AI, you can ask about this here:

viewforum.php?f=65

Verify which AI you are using. Then, check to see if your AI author has a topic posted already, and reach out there. By default, the game does not come pre-packaged with any new AI, so this is not default behaviour.

It looks like the output of the AI named "CPU", I ran into the same issue whilst doing my testing to find good AI. The long story short; you have to remove them one by one, or set them to hidden, you can also just start a new game with different AI.

You can disable that output, but you need to change the AI settings BEFORE it spawns. You can also find other AI that may be of better use to you in that thread, its linked in the first post of the thread.

If you want to keep CPU, here's the way of changing the output, probably other AI that leave messages do this too.

after this, select the AI (do this IMMEDIATELY after you start the game, you mustn't let the AI spawn or this becomes disabled, to my understanding) and at the bottom, use 'Configure' option.

I knew wasting so much time learning & testing CPUs would finally come in useful(ish) one day :mrgreen:

I wonder if it's possible to create a game script which would remove all signs every month or so.

And if someone could write a script to remove these characters, I'd love to use it. :D
